Crates
Various types of crates can be handled by our label remover(Label Removal or Label Remover) unit and depending on the crate design even all four sides can be cleaned in one pass through the washing tunnel. In some cases it is even possible to remove stickers from the inside of the crate.
High pressure
Depending on the type of label and glue, multi-stage centrifugal pumps or plunger pumps are used. The common ones are 20, 35, 40 and 160 Bar.
Filtration
When removing labels, small particles of label residue can enter the washing water which need to be removed by filtration. For 20/35/40 Bar pressure centrifugal pumps are used. These pumps require special types of filtration such as a drum strainer or a belt filter. For 160 Bar pressure a plunger pump is needed. This pump requires fine filtration, which we can provide by means of our specially developed Rotating Fine Filtration Unit (RFFU).
